http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=5174 AMD enters gladiatorial soccer arena ------------------------------------------------------- Advanced Micro Devices, an AMERICAN chip manufacturer! Read the article and then call, e-mail, or mail them a letter. Or perhaps a bright BigSoccer.Com member can think of a more effective campaign.
British soccer is a very fannish, clannish phenomenon. AMD sponsoring one particular team rather than just advertising on the side of the pitch, as it's been doing for some time, could be a sponsorship deal too far for supporters of other soccer clubs. Interesting point...is it common for people to boycott products because of what teams they sponsor. I find that doubtful, if that were the case, there would be no sponsors. As we have all learned, businesses will abandon any sponsorship obligations when very vocal minorities (as in not majority) speak up. See Augusta National and see Pepsi w/ Ludacris... At least the website, whatever it is, isn't bashing soccer.
